CATIA V5R16 Design with Analysis – Deep Fry Basket Overview of Tasks
Tutorial 3A - Modeling
• Build a Master Model of the basket handle
• Create the upper & the lower parts from the Master Model
• Build the mechanical features on the both parts
• Get the both parts auto-updated after modifying the outlook of the
master model
Tutorial 3B - Modeling
• Build the metal arm
• Build the basket
• Add material texture onto all components
• Assemble components
Tutorial 3C – Structural analysis
• Simplify the model for analysis
• Create Meshes onto two components and create a connector between
them
• Create boundary conditions & define properties
• Analyze displacements & stresses
Tutorial 3D – Structural analysis (By Nastran)
• Repeat Tutorial 3C with the use of Nastran
Tutorial 3E – Design optimization
• Create a user parameter “volume”
• Run optimization to get the minimum volume of the metal arm with the
smallest part deformation

Change the view with the mouse
A. Panning enables you to move the model on a plane parallel to the screen. Click and hold the middle mouse button, then drag the mouse.
B. Rotating enables you to rotate the model around a point. Click and hold the middle mouse button and the right button, then drag the mouse.
C. Zooming enables you to increase or decrease the size of the model. Click and hold the middle button, then click ONCE and release the right button, then drag the mouse up or down.

Tutorial 3A
• Enter CATIA by double-clicking its icon on the desktop
• (If a license menu pops up), select ED2 and close CATIA. Then reopen again
• By default, a empty “Product” file is created. But now, you don’t need this, just select “File/Close” on the menu
• Select ‘Start/Mechanical Design/Part Design”on the menu bar
• Uncheck “Enable Hybrid Design” and then click “ok”
• An empty part is now created on “Part Design” workbench. You can see a specification tree at the upper left-hand corner and xyz datum planes in the middle of the screen

basket under the maximum load by
Finite Element Analysis…
Assumptions:
- Linear Behavior of the material
- Displacements will be small such that a linear solution is valid
- The spot weld joint between the basket and the metal arm will not break under the load
- Loading rate should be sufficiently low
- Load is uniformly distributed on the bottom faces of the basket
- The deformation of the basket is much lower than that of the metal arm
Max Load 15N (~1500g)

basket again by another FEA tools, MSC
PATRAN…
Assumptions: (Same as Tutorial 3C)
- Linear Behavior of the material
- Displacements will be small such that a linear solution Is valid
- The spot weld joint between the basket and the metal arm will not break under the load
- Loading rate should be sufficiently low
- Load is uniformly distributed on the bottom faces of the basket
- The deformation of the basket is much lower than that of the metal arm
Max Load 15N (~1500g)
